¶ I can't find Variables as elements on the Maven Add-on and Maven Add-in after I update Maven Documents to version 4.0.0. Could you help me get them back?
-
Starting with version 4.0.0, the Variable element from the Maven Add-on and Maven Add-in is replaced with Global Variables defined in Query Builder. With this change, you only need to create them once and then use them further in the Maven Add-on and Add-in.
But if you like to have things the old way, there is an option to do so by redefining the useGlobalExpressions attribute in the Settings field.Here are quick instructions:
- Add the Settings field to the Document Solution page layout
- Go to your Document Solution and define the useGlobalExpressions attribute as "true"

¶ I get an “Authorization is required” error after running the Maven Add-on. What authorization is required if I’m already logged into my Google account?
- This error usually occurs when you are signed into different Google accounts in your Chrome browser profile and in the Google Document where the Add-on is being used.
¶ How to fix:
Make sure you are logged into Chrome with the same Google account that is used to open the Google Document. This should resolve the authorization issue in most cases.
